Next month’s Tea Party Convention is falling apart over questions about where the money will go. Crazy-eyed Rep. Michele Bachmann has joined the list of those pulling out. Oh noes! Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has become the latest to pull out of a scheduled speaking gig at the controversial National Tea Party Convention next year. Like Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) …

The following is the complete list of news organizations granted media credentials to cover next month’s Tea Party Convention: Fox News Breitbart.com Townhall.com The Wall Street Journal World Net Daily That totally spans the gamut of viewpoints from A to B, dunnit?

I guess our socialist-fascist-communist leader hasn’t totally destroyed the economy if the knuckle-dragging teabaggers can sell out the Sarah Palin – Joseph Farah tag-team moronathon at $550 each!
